About the game:
WELCOME TO MINICOLOGY!
You have crash-landed into a mini-verse of tiny planets. Embark on an interstellar survival sandbox journey. Use your crafting, combat, and automation skills to survive the many challenges this mini-verse throws at you.
Immerse yourself in a world where self-sufficiency is key. Gather valuable resources, grow your own crops, and learn to automate anything. Use item pipes to transfer materials and automate processes around your base, hunt for food, harness energy, and secure your water source as you navigate the challenges of this miniature universe — but it doesn't stop there — get creative and construct a fully-fledged base, that can repel invaders and stand as a testament to your survival skills.
Sandbox-style building & terraforming mechanics. Make your planet your way!
Survive by hunting, farming, or a mix of the two - just don't hunt a species into extinction!
Automate your base: pipe items from chests into furnaces, synthesize new materials, and irrigate your farms.
Dozens of unique events and objectives, ranging from meteor showers to boss battles.
Massive procedural universe to explore, with an objective system that keeps gameplay fresh.
8 Challenging boss battles.
Craft accessories, armor, and weapons to flesh out your build.
Don't lose track of time! Immersive day/night cycle, with unique events tied to each!
Your actions have consequences: animals can be driven to extinction, and players can trigger hazardous weather conditions.
And yes, the planets are actually round.
